Tell that to the CIA.
Diane Fienstein accused them of committing crimes in order to suppress the torture report.[0] A little lying about how Osama was killed seems pretty innocuous next to that, doesn't it?
Military operations are routinely "framed" in a light that makes for the most positive PR spin. See the Jessica Lynch story for a good example of this.

That definitely makes more sense to me than trying to keep torture in the toolbox. Looks much better as an all-American raid than a canned hunt where the Pakistanis already had him. Even with the Feinstein thing, it seems more like any cover up was more about public perception than anything else.
